This largely public unit, 75-miles-long, holds deer year-round but also is winter range for herds from the east. Elevation changes are extreme, starting at 4,550 feet in Utah Valley and topping out on 11,877-foot-high Mount Nebo.

Herds are low but building. Hunting pressure is heavy, but some bucks survive long enough to grow old. Hunters often are surprised at the lack of deer in ideal habitat.
